Startup School: Tony Hsieh On Delivering Happiness
- dgreensp 17y agoA truly riveting summary. :/ I really liked how Hsieh talked about positive psychology and different ways to conceptualize, and attain, happiness. Specifically, the major sources of happiness in a job or career, or alternatively things that the company itself should seek to have, come in three tiers of increasing value and longevity: "Pleasure / Profits", "Flow / Passion", and "Meaning / Purpose". A rock star lives a life of fleeting pleasure; a passionate worker experiences flow and gets in the "zone"; a truly fulfilled entrepreneur or employee feels they are working toward a higher purpose.
